This Morning I Have Been Mostly Listening To ...

Well,had a real good night last down at the Hampton Arms. Ville and his Finnish mate came about 8pm and afrtewards we went to a couple of othe rpubs, Circus Circus and then The Worlds End. So was a liitle delicate this morning until i had a shower and decided to spin some CDs i have not hear for a good long while.

So  i have been listening to -

Karen Dalton "In My Own Time" (Light In the Attic CD)



Top quality American folk from a lady with a quirky haunting voice.


Pelican - March To The Sea (Hydra Head CD maxi)



Top notch progressive almost symphonic metal with great soaring guittars and meaty beats!  A  fantastic single - PLAY LOUD!

Akercoke - The Goat Of Mendes (Peaceville CD)



Brutal hardcore metal mayhem.

Goatsnake / Burning Witch (Hydra head CD)




Split CD,two tracks by each band. Heavy grindcore slowcore metal!
